The best ones were the "We-can’t-afford-it-friends-and-family" ones. As long as there’s a big enough place for the old folks to sit and the younger ones to dance and the kids to play; enough good food so no one needs to stop at MacDonalds on the way home, and people think this marriage is a good idea, everything else can be figured out. Unless your name is Williams and you actually live in Sonoma, who really cares if you spend $500 renting a limo when your cousin Nancy has a Jag you could borrow?

I wonder sometimes if people who put such ostentatiousness and cash into the wedding are overcompensating for what they’re not going to be putting into the marriage.

We are just the temporary custodian of "things". Decluttering allows us the time to live and not just be a servant of stuff. I try to remember this everyday.

We must always advocate for proper medical care. Too bad we have to take that on in addition to being ill.

I would take a Dictionary - because all the other books are in there.

For some of us — young —-for some of us —-not so young - Here are a few
fashion combinations that DO NOT go together….

A nose ring and bifocals
Spiked Hair and bald spots
A pierced tongue and dentures
Miniskirts and support hose
Ankle bracelets and corn pads
Speedos and cellulite
A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
Unbuttoned shirts and a midriff bulge
Bikinis and liver spots
Short shorts and varicose veins
In-line skates and a walker
But otherwise, we’re all LOOKIN GOOD!!!!!

Well, Cherokee Rose, there’s a number of people here I wouldn’t nominate for the Miss Congeniality Ribbon…and vice versa… and plenty of space for differing views. As my Dad cheerfully says, “Everyone’s entitled to their own stupid opinion!” That means you, me, Mugsy and the entire hormonal bunch of us. Frank, too. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Fluffy, “Everyone’s entitled to their own stupid opinion!” That is a good one. If you don’t mind, I think I may borrow it. P.S. You are very pretty….

Frank Peterson
Please! I have well-informed rigorously researched stupid opinions..

I for one, would be very sad and disappointed is Mugsy were to go away. She is one of the most interesting contributors to our discussions. I love her intellect and admire her postions on most things……. Here’s to Mugsy………May you continue to Rain (Reign) on us all your wisdom you are so willing to share.

Elizabeth Bennett
And you, Dona, are a treasure. I love reading your posts, even when they recount things that happened to you that should never happen to anyone.

Marvelous and ‘bravos’ to one and all. I think each of the comments chosen this week has a rather ‘wry’ flavor, just enough so that after reading, you pause, read again and then smile. Except for Lady Gator’s response, which I must have missed earlier, because with her response, I think I was making faces as I read that would go along with words like ‘ouch!’ “yick” “oh, no!” or “I didn’t see that” and finally, “God, help us!”. Thank you one and all.
